I've forgotten the password to a word .docx file I made 9 months ago, is there any chance I can get in without knowing it?

Brute forcing would be fine, since I don't think I would've used a long password for this, but I don't know how to automate that either. Any ideas?

if you are comfortable running python scripts: https://github.com/andreblue/doc-breaker I also have many many more word lists. I'd be happy to give it a shot if the contents are not too sensitive.
I ran that exact script and it output that it found the password and that it was 123456. It was not 123456. The "unlocked document" it generated cannot even be opened. If you have an idea how that might be fixed I'd gladly take that and the password list(s). Don't wanna share the document however, since I have entirely forgotten what's in it, so it may or may not be sensitive
That's the same number I have on my luggage!
Only an idiot would use that as a password.
password.
ohhhhhh im stealing this one, thatll be my new password for everything
That's why my password is "password" and not "that".
Samsonite! I was way off.
You can try using Office2John to create a hashfile for John the Ripper to crack, then use John the Ripper on said hashfile.
